The action comes after the 54-year-old actor was let go from the show following an incident which allegedly involved Gibson kicking a writer in the leg during an on-set disagreement.

Gibson issued a statement in response to the firing on Friday.

"I love Criminal Minds and have put my heart and soul into it for the last twelve years," he said. "I had hoped to see it through to the end, but that won't be possible now. I would just like to say thank you to the writers, producers, actors, our amazing crew, and, most importantly, the best fans that a show could ever hope to have."
